Got my F1A5s fitted yesterday, a noticeable early difference so good choice and thanks to all those who’ve recommended them... Only negative is a load of unsightly weights on two of the Alloys and several strong sticky marks where the old ones were removed.
One bit of knowledge I picked up when reading or searching for “excessive weight balance” was the yellow dots you see on some tyres. The yellow dots should be lined up with the valves, (the dot indicates the lightest part of the tyre) now my old tyres had distinctive yellow dots on the side wall so I ran out to check the new tyres were lined up but there were no dots...
On searching some more I discovered top branded tyres do not have or need these dots, they’re more uniformed. Forgive me if I’m stating the obvious to the majority, I just never realised
